JG Replicas Collection
Price range: $187.50 through $525.94
JG Replicas are Once Again Available!
We are very pleased to return to the industry the famous JG Replicas Collection of fish reproduction blanks. As most know, Jeff Gould and Dave Campbell of the State of Washington created and offered the finest King Salmon & Steelhead blanks (and more) – plus a great selection of Heads. This collection has always received great reviews from the taxidermy industry, and have been highly requested after since Jeff Gould of JG Replicas retired a few years back.
While an exceptional offering, it is time for the original JG molds to be remastered and remolded using our proprietary techniques and modern materials. Our plan is to remaster these molds in priority order as customer orders are received and processed. This will require at least a 180-day lead time (6-months) or more on initial orders, but in return those initial orders will receive a 35% discount on the price shown below their blank for their patience. Once a mold is remastered, it will be identified as having our standard 3-4 week turnaround time and return to normal pricing.
Please reach out to us if you have any questions, and thank you for your interest, and hope you enjoy the return of the JG Replicas collection!

What are JG Replicas fish blanks?
JG Replicas are legendary fish reproduction blanks—now thanks to Waters by Klaus, they are back and better than ever. Originally crafted by Jeff Gould and Dave Campbell, these salmon and steelhead replicas (plus bass, trout, and more) are prized by fish taxidermists for accurate anatomy, clean seams, and painter-friendly surfaces. We’re remastering the original JG molds with modern materials for sharper detail, durability, and consistency.
Why taxidermists choose JG Replicas:
- Proven shapes for King Salmon & Steelhead plus key warm-/cold-water species
- Cleaner, crisper scale and fin detail from remastered molds
- Order unassembled or ready to paint to match your workflow
- Open-mouth or closed-mouth head options and left/right poses (many 360° skews)
What’s included with each fish reproduction blank?
- Species-specific body with accurate profile, depth, and taper
- Matching head (open or closed mouth) and pose orientation
- Option to ship unassembled or ready to paint for time savings
- Sizes listed by length / girth / estimated weight for easier client quoting’
Which JG Replicas species and sizes are available?
Current options include King (Chinook) Salmon, Steelhead, Coho (Silver) Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Yelloweye Rockfish—with detailed size runs. Additional species will come online as molds are remastered.
How does the remastering & turnaround work?
We’re remastering original JG molds in priority order based on incoming customer demand. Initial orders for a given model ship after remastering—please plan for about 180 days on that first run. In return, those early orders receive a 35% discount off the displayed price. Once a mold is remastered, it returns to standard 3–4 week turnaround at normal pricing. Current global shipping estimate: 4–6 weeks.
Who are these fish blanks ideal for?
- Professional fish taxidermists seeking consistent, painter-ready fish replicas
- Taxidermy studios needing repeatable bodies for retail, museum, and resort displays
- High-volume shops that value time savings from ready-to-paint assemblies
Frequently asked questions about our JG replicas
- What’s the difference between “remastered” and “original” runs?
Remastered models use retooled molds and updated materials for cleaner detail and consistency. The first customer batch triggers that remastering, so early orders get a 35% discount and a longer initial lead time. After that, the model ships on a 3–4 week schedule. - Can I order left or right poses and 360° skews?
Yes—many JG Replicas list left/right orientations and 360° skews so you can mirror a client’s photo reference or pair fish in multi-mounts. Check each line in the species catalogue for pose availability. - Should I choose unassembled or ready to paint?
Unassembled is best if you prefer your own pinning/seam workflow. Ready to Paint arrives pre-assembled and prepped to cut finishing time on deadline projects. - What species are available now?
Initial catalogues include King Salmon, Steelhead, Coho (Silver) Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Yelloweye Rockfish, with more added as they’re remastered.
